Firstly, it’s really bloody interesting – it sucks you straight into the story and you immediately stop ruminating and tossing and turning about the day’s events.

Secondly, the host Aaron Mahnke’s voice is really, really soothing. Like super smooth and mesmerising. When you combine that with the chilled out and slightly creepy soundtrack, it creates the perfect storm for sleep.

Honestly within five to 10 minutes of listening to Lore, I’m out cold and I wake up so happy I didn’t waste hours tossing and turning the night before.

It’s definitely worth a try if you’ve had one too many restless nights, but if you scare easily maybe steer clear of Lore.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a whole bunch of Lore episodes to relisten to while I’m not having a snore.
